Evaluating video games with each other is hard enterprise, however upon logging into Sulfur‘s new demo I used to be instantly flabbergasted with how oddly comparable it felt to Bungie’s historical Pathways Into Darkness and – sure – Escape From Tarkov. Certainly, I’m speaking concerning the funny-looking roguelite FPS the place you shoot goblins.

First issues first, I extremely suggest you give Sulfur a good shot through the sport’s delightfully complete demo, obtainable on Steam. This wacky-looking shooter by some means manages to encapsulate Tarkov‘s weapon modification and stock techniques in its preliminary cave-bound sequence, albeit in an clearly simplified and streamlined state. The vibe, although, is the principle draw right here, as a result of the sport feels ominous (but inviting) in a really unusual means that’s sure to be acquainted in the event you ever spent any time enjoying Bungie’s oldest video games.

Sulfur Demo is on the market now

The demo of Sulfur ought to offer you greater than sufficient gameplay to see whether or not the sport tickles your fancy. It took me simply over three hours to wrap up my first profitable run by the caves, and I positively see myself coming again to it, regardless that the cave part does find yourself repeating a good bit within the demo.

Sulfur‘s weapons really feel chunky and satisfying, and its oddly macabre tackle cutesy cellular recreation graphics is a sight to behold. The motion and leaping are admittedly considerably tough and slippery in the meanwhile, however this too may be tuned in the event you’re fortunate sufficient to search out the best kind of footwear. Broadly, the gameplay is surprisingly satisfying and if the complete recreation’s Steam screenshots are something to go by, the demo’s caves are solely simply scratching the floor of what else is coming as a part of the entire bundle.

We do not need an precise launch date for Sulfur simply but, thoughts: the developer Excellent Random goals to have the sport out someday in 2024, however that’s all we all know in the meanwhile.
